When I was young I'd listen to the radio,
Waiting for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile Those were such happy times and not so long ago How I wondered where they've gone But they're back again just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well * Every sha la every woo still shines Every sing a ling a ling that they're starting to sing so fine When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more Looking back on how it was in years gone by And the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad So much has changed; It was Songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies; still sound so good to me; As they melt the years away * Every sha la every woo still shines Every sing a ling a ling that they're starting to sing so fine * All my best memories come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry; just like before It's yesterday once more |

Long ago and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear But you're not really here It's just the radio * Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do Loneliness is a such a sad affair And I can hardly wait to be with you again What to say to make you come again Come back to me again And play your sad guitar * Repeat * Repeat |

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothing ever seems to fit Hangin' around nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around some kind of lonely clown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me. What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. |

Such a feelings coming over me there is wonder
in most everything I see not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes and I won't be surprised if it's a dream everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me and the reason is clear it's because you are here you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seem I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I've found ever since you've been around your loves put me at the top of the world Something in the wind has learned my name and it's telling me that things are not the same in the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze there's a pleasing sence of happiness for me There is only one wish on my mind when this day is through I hope that I will find that tomorrow will be just the same for you and me all I need will be mine if you are here I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that l've found ever since you're been around your loves put me at the top of the world I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation and the only explanation I can find is the love that I've found ever since you've been around your loves put me at the top of the world |

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by And all I know of love is how to live without it I just can't seem to find it. So I've made my mind up I must live my life alone And though it's not the easy way I guess I've always known I'd say goodbye to love. There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine Surely time will lose these bitter memories And I'll find that there is someone to believe in And to live for something I could live for. All the years of useless search Have finally reached an end Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend From this day love is forgotten I'll go on as best I can. What lies in the future is a mystery to us all No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong But for now this is my song. And it's goodbye to love I'll say goodbye to love. |

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play * Throughts of leaving disappear Each time I see your eyes And no matter how hard I try To understand the reason Why we carry on this way And we're lost in this masquerade We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play * Repeat We're lost in a masquerade |

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love For nowhere in the world Could there be a boy as true as you love All my love I give gladly to you All your love You give gladly to me Tell me why then Oh why should it be that (*) We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry Hurting each other Without ever knowing why Closer than the leaves On a weepin' willow baby we are Closer dear are we Than the simple letters "A" and "B" are All my life I could love only you All your life You could love only me Tell me why then Oh why should it be that Repeat (*) (**) Can't we stop hurting each other Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry Breaking each other's heart Tearing each other apart Repeat (**) |

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, thru his indifference A heart that cared that went unshared Until it died within his silence And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire And keeping to himself, begins to deal And still the king of hearts is well concealed Another losing games comes to an end And deals them out again A little hope goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying There was a man, a lonely man Who would command the hand he's playing And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire And keeping to himself, begins to deal And still the king of hearts is well concealed Another losing games comes to an end And deals them out again And solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire |

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way. We've only begun. Before the rising sun we fly, So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run. And yes, We've just begun. * Sharing horizons that are new to us, Watching the signs along the way, Talking it over just the two of us, Working together day to day Together. And when the evening comes we smile, So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow, And yes, We've just begun. * repeat |

As a child I was known for make-believing
All alone I created fantasies As I grew people called it self-deceiving But my heart helped me hold the memories As I walk through the world I find around me Something new, yet familiar's in the air I feel it everywhere Like a child's eyes On a Christmas night I'm looking at you now Finding answers to my prayers It's a new day for those good old dreams One by one it seems they're coming true Here's the morning that my heart had seen Here's the morning that just had to come through Same old stage but what a change of scene No more dark horizons, only blue It's a new day for those good old dreams All my life I dreamed of loving you You're a spark of a long forgotten fire You're a touch of a slowly growing wind You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons Telling me there are some things that don't end We have left all the darkness far behind us All those hopes that we held along the way Have made it to this day Like an old love song Gone for much too long You hear it once again Ant it carries you away It's a new day for those good old dreams One by one it seems they're coming true Here's the morning that my heart had seen Here's the morning that just had to come through Same old stage but what a change of scene No more dark horizons, only blue It's a new day for those good old dreams And It's all because of you |

Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to Who will always care You're always there When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you So many times when the city seems to be Without a friendly face A lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you And you'll always smile It's all worthwhile When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you Touch me and I end up singing Troubles seem to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing I can't really lose when you're near If all my friends Have forgotten half their promises They're not unkind Just hard to find One look at you and I know That I could learn to live without the rest I found the best When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you |

Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze. As season fly I knew that I was losing Love was washed away with the driftin tide. Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start. It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a love song. Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart. Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin' The future that lies before me I cannot see Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me. |

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by Just like me, they long to be close to you On the day that you were born The angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the boys in town follow you all around Just like me, they long to be close to you |

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face Their share of loneliness In my own time nobody knew The pain I was goin' through And waitin' was all my heart could do Hope was all I had until you came Maybe you can't see How much you mean to me You were the dawn breaking the night The promise of morning light Filing the world surrounding me When I hold you Baby, Baby Feels like maybe things will be all right Baby, Baby Your love's made me Free as a SONG singin' forever Only yesterday when I was sad And I was lonely You showed me the way to leave The past and all its tears behind me Tomorrow may be even brighter Than today Since I threw my sadness away Only Yesterday I have found my home here in your arms Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be Life waits for us Share it with me The best is about to be So much is left for us to see When I hold you Baby, Baby Feels like maybe things will be all right Baby, Baby Your love's made me free as a song Singin' forever Only yesterday when I was sad And I was lonely You showed me the way to leave The past and all its tears behind me Tomorrow may be even brighter Than today Since I threw my sadness away Only yesterday -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
